Question

. Which one of the following statements is true of a split-phase motor when it is starting? A. The speed is high. B. The torque is high. C. The current is low. D. The voltage is low.

Answer 1

B, the torque is high. All electrical motors start with very high torque (or turning power).

Current and voltage are based on the supply and are irrelevant for this question, and starting at high speed is not an appropriate answer.
